I am an Indian Jesuit priest. I was born in the city of Alappuzha, in the State of Kerala. I have taught and done social works at Sneharam Jesuit Social Action Centre in Trivandrum in Kerala, India. I have my first degree (B.A.) in English Language and Literature, Master’s degree in Philosophy, Syriac Language and Literature. I have also completed my theological studies prior to my ordination.

I am planning to read for an MSt in Syriac Studies at Oxford. I would like to study Syriac in order to help in the preservation and revival of this endangered language. I am interested in fostering ecumenical unity among the divided Syriac Churches all around the world in general and particularly among the St. Thomas Syriac Churches in India.

I enjoy reading and studying languages. I have interest in Carnatic classical vocal music, Syriac Hymnology and Amateur theatre. I appreciate international art films.
